Wow, you've captured perfectly what Southern California looks like on the day after a winter storm. On a day like yesterday there are very few places in the world that can rival what we have right here. Great colors in the buildings, the mountains, and sky.

Fantastic photos on yours and the mentioned blogs showing the effect of storm and the resulting unsual snow in the far. It reminds me of some summerholidays in Austria. Often is new-snow seen as powder at the mountains after rain/snow and not so hot weather. If you are not used to this it is a fascinating experience.

Hi Laurie. You are so right about the aftermath of storms. We do get some beautifuly skies in the wake of all that rain. I love your "icing on the cake" photo. I haven't been far enough out yet to see if we can see snow on our surrounding mountains.

Super cool! I LOVE the BIG view esp. with the title! I've been expecting it too be a local theme day, but underestimated the variety of viewpoints. Father Adam at Monastery Daily (http://monasterydailyphoto.blogspot.com/2010/01/oranges-and-snow-after-storm.html) recently moved back to SoCal (Redlands way??), just in time to join the fun. Thanks for linking us all together.

It has been so much fun comparing all of our shots today. (Be sure to look back at my post -- I added a few more names tonight!) I wrote over at East of Allen that this has been quite a collective unconscious/great-minds-think-alike day!

The History of Glimpses

Glimpses of South Pasadena is 10 years old!

In December of 2007, after many years on the west side of Los Angeles (and at least a third of those years spent stuck in traffic on Pico Boulevard) my family settled into a happy little house in South Pasadena. This daily blog covered almost 5 years as I put down roots in my new home town -- and almost 5 more as I settled in and became a South Pas old-timer. While I don't always blog daily, I add new posts every week.
